Now, Harwin has responded to industry’s demand for fast turn-around by making the most commonly-chosen variations of the Mix-Tek range available as standard items. Comments Product Manager Paul Gillam: “Design Engineers love the flexibility of Datamate Mix-Tek, but sometimes require very fast turn–around, especially for new product development. With this new program they can immediately benefit from the size, weight, performance and cost advantages offered by this high-rel interconnect system.”
Currently 41 variants of Mix-Tek Datamate are available as standard items. Configurations include power only from 2-10 power contacts and mixed contact from 2 signal/2 power through to 12 signal/4 power. The standard range focuses on the most popular male PCB contact styles mated with female crimp options. Hexagonal slotted Jackscrews are offered across the range.
